Chapter 577
The Southern Han sent envoys to surrender to the Great Zhou, hoping to use the power of the Great Zhou to deal with Annan. However, after the Great Zhou sent troops to Annan, the Southern Han actually sent a navy to threaten the Great Zhou people, and it was not difficult to guess the intention.
"The old minister thought that the Southern Han should be the tragic death of the rabbit and the fox. After seeing the national strength of the Great Zhou, he was afraid that he would use troops to Lingnan and defeat the Southern Han. The old minister felt that the more they were afraid, the more he could not be polite!" Wei Renpu analyzed.
Others also expressed their agreement, and Han Xizai said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, you can send an envoy to denounce the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Han Dynasty and ask them to withdraw their troops immediately. Otherwise, the upper country will be furious, which is not something they can bear!"
Chai Rong smiled slightly, "Mr. Han, Ren Tianxing is your son-in-law, right? He is in danger now, is it enough to just send an envoy?" Han Xizai's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly said, "I think the climate in Lingnan is hot, which is not conducive to the battle of the army, let alone His Majesty has just pacified Jiangnan. If you can stop moving your troops, don't move your troops!"
"No!" Chai Rong waved his hand hard, "Grandpa Han, you were wrong! The emperor and ministers of the Southern Han Dynasty thought that I did not dare to send troops, so they were unscrupulous and courageous. The use of military forces has always been unintentional. The more they felt that I could not send troops, the more I wanted them to know that they were powerful! Pass my will and prepare troops immediately, and I would like to lead the army in person!"
Ye Hua kept listening that Chai Rong was not surprised to use troops against the Southern Han Dynasty, but he had no need to be in charge of the army.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Han country is small and weak, the king is stupid, and the slander ministers are in power. If you want to punish the Southern Han, how can your Majesty take action? I am not talented and willing to command 30,000 troops and sweep across Lingnan!"
After Ye Hua said that, Han Tong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde, Murong Yanzhao and other generals all stood up to ask for battle.
Looking at the generals who were living like a thriller, Chai Rong was very happy and very satisfied. This was the army of tigers and wolves, and the dignity of the Great Zhou.
"All the generals and champions, I am very relieved that anyone who leads the troops south has been in charge. However, the Southern Han Dynasty has been in power for decades, and the Han and Yue are mixed in Lingnan, and the people are fierce. Many people have been disobeying Wang Hua for a long time. This time, I am personally expeditioning, not only to wipe out the Southern Han Dynasty, but also to show the power of heaven. I have to do this battle myself, so you don't have to persuade me."
Chai Rong's stubbornness makes people confused. There is no way to do things, so they can only follow his will.
This time the arrangement was also quite surprising. Chai Rong did not choose a general to open the way, but instead made Zhu Lingyun the pioneer.
"You have been leading troops in Jiangnan for a long time, with rich experience, and your soldiers are brave and good at fighting. I am very relieved. You personally commanded the 60,000 troops. As the vanguard of the conquest of Lingnan, I led the brigade to suppress the battle. Only win and not lose in this battle!"
A surrendered general was entrusted with an important task, what else could Zhu Lingyun say?
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely lead by example and stop until death!"
Chai Rong was very satisfied and asked someone to give Zhu Lingling a BMW and a treasure knife.
In addition to these 60,000 troops, Chai Rong mobilized troops everywhere and gathered 300,000 troops, and rushed towards Lingnan.
However, among these 300,000 troops, except for the 300,000 troops led by Han Tong and Murong Yanzhao, and the 8,000 guards, the rest were all surrendered soldiers and generals from the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Chai Rong went south and did not bring too many civil and military officials.
Wei Renpu was appointed as the left-behind Grand Secretary and was in charge of Jinling. The champion Hou Yehua served as the strategic pacification envoy and commanded the people in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Zhao Kuangyin was responsible for recruiting civil servants, transporting grain, and supplying front-line services.
"What a trick to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf!" Fu San gnawed Qing Xing and said in ambiguously: "My brother-in-law is really cruel. He wants all these surrendered troops to die in Lingnan! Yes, without them, Jiangnan will be much quieter."
In order to fight against the Great Zhou, Li Hongji tried his best to expand his troops. He knew that the quality was not good, so he could only gather the number. The total strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty once exceeded 700,000, and the imperial guards alone had 300,000.
However, the number of people in history cannot be completely equated with combat power. Yangzhou was defeated and the troops collapsed and the ice disappeared. It’s just that so many people were not properly handled, sooner or later it would be troublesome.
It is also a good way to use them as cannon fodder and attack Lingnan, but this kind of thing can only be understood tacitly.
"People say that one has been stupid for three years. You should take care of yourself now. Don't be smart. If someone hears it and criticizes the emperor, that's not good!"
Ye Hua said, grabbing a green apricot, put it to his mouth, and took a bite. It was so sour and astringent, and it was so unpalatable. He frowned, "How can you eat it?"
Fu San snorted and said angrily: "Anyway, it's not your men who gave birth to a child. How hard it is to be a mother? How can you know how hard you go?"
Ye Hua didn't dare to argue with her, so he could only serve her carefully.
Fu San suddenly said, "Brother, everyone says it's sour and spicy. It seems that the one in my belly must be a steward. Your Ye family has a descendant!"
Ye Hua chuckled and said, "As long as it is our child, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, it's just that I remember that a few days ago, you liked eating ginger slices. At that time, you said you wanted to have a girl, a caring little cotton jacket!"
Fu San said stupidly: "Is that true?"
The little girl was frightened and hurriedly spit out the green apricot in her mouth, and said quickly: "It's awful! Brother, I eat sour and spicy foods. Do you think our children are men or women? Or...ah!" The little girl's face turned pale and she was about to cry.
"Brother, it's all your fault. Tell me so many stories about gods and ghosts. You are a person with evil spirits. If I give birth to a monster, I promise to blame you. I won't blame me, don't blame me!"
In a hurry, Fu San stepped into the pillow and had no shame to see anyone.
Ye Hua stared at her for a long time and said quietly: "San'er, there is actually another situation?"
"What's the situation?" Fu San said in a daze.
"It's just that there are both boys and girls in your belly!"
"What are there both boys and girls?" Fu San's voice was octave higher, "Can you still have two more?"
Ye Hua was so stupid that her wife made her head big!
"Have you ever heard of twins?"
"ah!"
Fu San woke up when she was dreaming, and the little girl was instantly happy.
Her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and her little face was full of a happy smile. She came out of the pillow and leaned against Ye Hua's shoulder, proudly!
Suddenly, her face sank, her eyes rolled around, thinking about the idea. She coughed and said in a big way: "I have children for you and have endured twice as much hardship. How do you repay me?"
What else can Ye Hua say, "The young student can only agree with his body!"
"Hmph, who wants you to speak vernacularly!"
Fu San glared at her eyes, "I asked you to get some hot water and wait for me to wash my feet! Also, I haven't cut my nails for twenty-one days, so you can repair my hands and feet."
Faced with his wife's request, what else can Ye Hua say? If the little girl could really give birth to twins, what would such a thing be like?
He turned his head and came back soon. The brand new pine basin was added with roses, lilacs, and osmanthus. The heat was rising, the pine aroma was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing.
Fu San's feet are not very small, but they are white and tender, like fresh lotus root, with skin like cream, no old skin at all, and their toenails are plump and pink, just like a work of art!
Although Ye Hua does not have those special hobbies, he is still deeply attracted by his wife.
He carefully lifted the hot water, "How is it, is it comfortable?"
Fu San's eyes raised a layer of water mist, which merged with the water vapor, and could not be seen from the outside.
“Very good, very comfortable!”
Ye Hua put his feet into the water, gently pressed the acupoints on the soles of his wife with his fingers. The children in his belly were getting bigger and bigger, and the burden was on his legs, so some problems would inevitably occur.
Ye Hua even regretted it. It would be better for children to have one child one by one. It is not as simple as double the pain. What should I do if there is any mistake?
Ye Hua felt more and more distressed, and even his breathing became rapid. He tried hard to control his emotions, carefully, wiped his wife's feet dry and let her rest. Ye Hua took advantage of the opportunity to pour water and retreated from the room.
After leaving his wife, Ye Hua seemed to have changed into another person. As a general, he was smart and capable, and cautious, all of them emerged.
Ye Hua took a little hand and walked over from the darkness. It was Yang You.
Since he took it back to Linzhou, Yang You once went to the Yang family's ancestral grave and cried bitterly. Then he returned to Ye Hua and assumed the responsibility of a secret bodyguard.
Yang You told Ye Hua that his identity is shameless and there is no regret in his life. He only has one thought left, that is, to protect the Marquis, protect the Ye family, and use this life to report the Marquis’s kindness!
Ye Hua wanted to persuade him to give up and start over several times, but Yang You just refused to agree, and Ye Hua had no choice.
"I heard from Liu Chuang that the Shangshu Ling from Wuyou Cave arrived in Jiangnan, and the remnants of the Manichaeism also arrived in Jiangnan... This time, His Majesty led his troops south, and Jiangnan was empty. I guess these people will take the opportunity to make trouble, and you must be careful."
There was a glow in Yang You's one-eye, like a gem in the darkness.
"The Marquis is really smart. Even without intelligence, you can guess the danger!"
Ye Hua smiled, "Don't flatter, I don't have intelligence. So, do you have intelligence?"
